Life for most of us is keeping an
eye on our health with flexible, easy-to-
reach multidisciplinary health centres
or retail clinics, where medical staff
work together and provide support
for the general health and well-
being of patients, as a more efficient
alternative for hospitals. Convenience is
increasingly becoming the driving force
when choosing a location where people
go to receive medical cares.

Life is also paying
attention to efficiency:
smart meters that measure
energy consumption, advice
for a better use, proper
maintenance, sustainable
renovations and using free
space in certain buildings
as living space or other
amenities, in order to reduce
the transaction costs, which
ultimately benefits the
customers.
Anyone who wants to play a leading role in real estate, must
understand how people live and work.
In the long-term, the major social changes are due to an
increased urbanisation, an ageing population, but also the
Generation Y and the Millennials on the labour market. They
experience the labour market in a different way. It all depends
in which stage of life they are in, trying to combine their work
life with their family life and leisure time.
For Cofinimmo, innovation means responding to the changing
trends in terms of accommodation and working by offering
real estate properties which meets the needs of its customers.
These trends and the knowledge of customers, partners
and employees are bundled in proposals, which are further
developed in accordance with specific priorities. Innovation
means thinking at a lateral and horizontal level, spontaneous
and passionate. Employees, partners and customers work on
projects with the aim of making work and leisure time more
pleasurable.

Life is also paying
attention to the
environment. That is why
buildings that are energy-
efficient and easy to adapt
to the changing working
and living environment
(flexibility, green design,
smart areas) are the winners
of today and certainly of
tomorrow.
